Description Bertrand Jacquin 2011-10-05 20:21:58 UTC

Apache use libtool/APR for building but BUILD libtool/apr tools are used, so you get the following :


Configuring Apache Portable Runtime Utility library...

checking for APR-util... yes
checking for i586-alix-linux-gnu-gcc... x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc
checking whether the C compiler works... no
configure: error: in `/var/tmp/i586-alix-linux-gnu/portage/www-servers/apache-2.2.21/work/httpd-2.2.21':
configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
See `config.log' for more details

Here is a fix that define HOST CC and use HOST libtool

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.i586-alix-linux-gnu-emerge -vat apache
2.
3.

ROOT is not valid inside of any src_* funcs.  you cannot utilize it.
